Haha nice one @Elbub! I've only had two avatars the whole time I've been on this forum... I probably changed to this one like a year ago but it still seems new to me and like I shouldn't change it yet xD

I went for years with Boris Johnson as my avatar (who can still be seen on my profile), but I've found myself changing more and more recently. I may improve this one somewhat, but I think I've hit a new semi-permanent one :D

EDIT:

I recently changed my avatar. The old one had Emolga with a berry branch, but I came across this one after digging around and thought it was pretty sweet.

As for embarrassment from a lack of skills, I'm definitely not a sports pro, that's for sure. On top of that, my dad and my brother also go to a bar for a trivia night thing, and I used to go but stopped after realizing I have absolutely ZERO sports and pop culture knowledge, and they're constantly asking questions in those areas. It got so bad to the point that I stopped going completely (and looking at my phone to pass the time is not an option because if you do that, they suspect you're cheating by Googling answers and the team you're sitting with will get disqualified).

You ninja'd me!

Ah, pub quizzes are great! I will admit though that I prefer wide general knowledge questions rather than ones that tend to be heavy on one or two subjects.

Because I is teh ninja masta!

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that bar's trivia games, but I usually go home feeling both buzzed and like a dummy. And usually $40 dollars poorer. But they still wonder why I'd rather play video games...

I finally came up with a good idea for an avatar!

Unfortunately, my execution of said good idea is more than terrible because of my non-existent art skills. The result of which can be seen to the left. Sorry.

Anyone else changed their avatar recently? Or had their lack of skills embarrass them?

Yup, I changed from a Pikachu with a scarf to this Detective Pikachu. Pretty much sums up my "online persona" lol. Was trying to work on a banner to go with it, but since I'm still learning effects (with shading, lightening the shading, lightening, etc and all that) and certain things came up recently I've been kinda uninspired to get back to that lately. Maybe next week sometime I'll get back to it. I've scraped it and reworked on it so many times now xD.

Yeah, I've been on unemployment before, and there were times when I felt like I was on it for way too long (I hate watching a savings account dwindle lower and lower). And yeah, I can totally relate to those feelings. The job I'm going to be leaving had a lot of great people (they even treated me to a farewell lunch at Friendly's today and we had a great time), but the work itself is horrendously difficult!. I'm going to miss these awesome guys, but the work itself... definitely not my cup of tea at all. It was so complicated, convoluted, and always changing itself around with new rules/regulations while unexpectedly pulling the rug out from under me that there have been days where I felt like I had some kind of learning or mental disability. I have a feeling the expectations are too high and honestly, I wouldn't be the first person to drop out because it got to be too complex and... I have a feeling I'm not going to be the last either.

But, all in all, I'm hoping the next job I find will be better. I'm feeling hopeful and optimistic about it.

Yeah I was looking for my first job for so long. Even finding a new one is still hard WITH experience. Good luck on your searches and hope it turns out some good results sooner than later. Longer you wait to find a replacement the harder it might feel to go back lol. At least for me that's how laziness feels hahaha.

My current job feels that way at times. It used to be pretty easy going, but now rules are changing, the higher ups are getting way more strict, and we have to do certain things to make any sort of changes in prices now (along with getting a manager approval before hand AND after).

LOL yeah, those bar triva games can be....brutal in OUR knowledge. I was only able to help once because.....somehow it wasn't sports/pop culture related. Somehow family night got mixed in with the trivia. So movies (like animation) trivia were included within the questions at times. Even though it was only asked like twice within the 2 hours I was there lol. That doesn't make sense though! You should be able to look at your phone. They can't watch everyone all at the same time. Why not block off or disqualify anyone who goes to the bathroom then. Hold it or you and everyone at your table is DQ.

Well, I was hoping to cheer myself up today with a new Miraculous Ladybug episode, but they didn't release one this week. T.T

but have you mastered the art of Chakra?

Yeah it sucks when you get your hopes up for something over a week's time only....to find out there's no new episode. Happens a lot when I finally catch up on the manga I read (One Piece and even Detective Conan...though DC rarely updates with English translations now because of laws finally catching up to them =/)

Well I actually just got into the show and it's meant to be for kids but it's main fan base is actually with teenagers and younger adults because of the love square they have going on in the show. Which I find somewhat amusing because it was originally meant to be for the age group it's fan base mainly consists of but they couldn't find any studios wanting to produce the show so they rewrote it for kids.

Either way, I joined the fandom back in like late January when this show started appearing all over tumblr and Instagram and I caught up episode wise about a week before the newest episode was to debut (February 7), watched that, loved it, couldn't wait for the newest episode aaaaaaand there's no new episode.

So it's similar to how it is with that one image that keeps floating around the internet? The one showing Pokemon, Call of Duty, a MLP. Showing the "targeted audience" and "actual audience?"

Nothing wrong with it at all lol. It's cool to find something interesting. I've often found it too much lately. Something new that I get hooked on.

Pretty much. It's actually quite funny. But the show literally is about two superheroes that know each other as superheroes and know each other in real life (they attend school together), but neither knows that the other is a superhero. So it's like Girl is obsessed with Guy in real life, and Guy is obsessed with Girl as superhero. They have huge crushes on one another but don't realize that they are each other and it's such a trolling moment.

It's actually a really good show and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's got eighteen episodes right now but not all the episodes are dubbed in english, like I believe thirteen of them are. The English voice actors are really good too but once I heard Chat Noir in French I couldn't go back to English ever again.
